“Today is born our Saviour, Christ the Lord” – the refrain that we sing during the midnight Mass on Christmas Day reminds us each year of the good news announced first to the shepherds at the holy night of the Nativity of the Lord. Following in the spirit the shepherds, we are heading to church to once again listen to the angelic message, to greet the Baby Jesus, Mary and Joseph, to look at the crib and to draw the precious gifts of love, joy and peace from the Newborn.

I would like to wish all our parishioners, visitors and benefactors an abundance of God’s blessings. May the splendour of the Holy Night of the Nativity of the Lord dispel every darkness of sin and sadness and make our hearts and homes glowing with the radiant joy and love offered to us by the newborn Saviour! May Baby Jesus find a dwelling place in our hearts and homes!

Since this year we celebrate the Feast of the Holy Family right after Christmas, we also pray for the intentions of our families. Let us imitate the Holy Family of Nazareth and make our families united in love and peace!

This Christmas season is not only an opportunity for me to share my best wishes, but also for expressing my gratefulness to all who keep supporting our Parish by prayers, commitment, engagement, time, talents, work and donations of any kind.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

God bless,

Fr. Peter
